For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.

For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

This supplement has been used in connection with the following health conditions:

Dose: Extracts providing at least 50 mg per day chlorogenic acids
While drinking regular coffee or other sources of caffeine may slightly raise blood pressure,1 coffee also contains chlorogenic acids that may have a blood pressure-lowering effect, according to animal research.2 However, a double-blind study found that a substance produced by roasting coffee can inhibit this blood pressure-lowering effect, and by removing this substance, coffee lowered blood pressure.3 This suggests that extracts of unroasted ("green") coffee that are high in chlorogenic acids might help lower blood pressure. A double-blind trial found that eating soups containing green coffee extracts providing at least 50 mg per day chlorogenic acids lowered blood pressure significantly better than soup containing no green coffee extracts in people with mild hypertension, but that lower amounts of green coffee extracts in the soup were not effective.4 A double-blind trial of green coffee extract supplements containing 140 mg per day of chlorogenic acids reduced systolic blood pressure by an average of 10 mm Hg and diastolic blood pressure by an average of 7 mm Hg in people with mild hypertension.5 One controlled trial found no blood pressure-lowering effect of green coffee extract supplements in people with normal blood pressure.6

Dose: Extract providing 400 to 450 mg of chlorogenic acids per day
Animal research suggests that green coffee extract and its major component, chlorogenic acid, may help with weight loss and reducing abdominal fat.1, 2 An uncontrolled human study found that people who drank 750 ml per day of coffee containing green coffee bean constituents for four weeks ate fewer calories and lost weight.3 In a controlled study, overweight people who drank a coffee beverage containing green coffee extract (providing 400 to 450 mg of chlorogenic acids per day) for 12 weeks lost an average of about 12 pounds and 3.6% body fat compared to less than 4 pounds and an insignificant amount of body fat lost by people who drank a similar amount of coffee without added green coffee extracts.4 Another controlled study reported a statistically significant 11 pound weight loss after 60 days when overweight people took 400 mg per day of green coffee extracts (providing 180 mg of chlorogenic acids per day), compared to about a five pound loss in people taking a placebo.5 The green coffee extracts group also significantly raised their ratio of lean body tissue to body fat compared to the control group. However, since these studies lasted only 12 weeks or less, more research is needed to determine if green coffee extract can help people accomplish long-term weight loss. In addition, at least one human study supporting green coffee extract's effect on weight loss has been retracted due to methodological problems, raising suspicion about research relating to green coffee extract and weight loss.

Dose: Refer to label instructionsDrinking either regular or decaffeinated coffee has been associated with reduced type 2 diabetes risk in several preliminary human studies.1 Test tube studies suggest that chlorogenic acid, a primary constituent found in both coffee and in green coffee extract may inhibit glucose production by the liver,2 which could theoretically lead to lower blood sugar. An animal study found that green coffee extract also prevented the reduction in insulin sensitivity caused by a high-fat diet.3 No human studies have tested the effect of green coffee extract on reducing risk of diabetes or improving insulin sensitivity, but a double-blind trial found that healthy people who drank a sweetened coffee beverage containing green coffee extract (providing 400 to 450 mg of chlorogenic acids) had lower blood sugar during the following two hours compared to when they drank the same coffee beverage without added green coffee extract.4 More research is needed to determine whether green coffee extract can help prevent or treat type 2 diabetes.

I just found the Chews and I love them! I love the taste and the fact that I can pick up something that taste sweet and curb my craving for sugar. I just bought the Garcinia and Raspberry ketones and have one in the morning with my coffee ( instead of a cookie ) I like something sweet with my first cup of coffee and this works! They allow you to sample the different flavors and products and they all taste good. I will buy more to have a variety and continue to stay away from carbs and sugar.

The product says it will help you lose weight and boost your metabolism, but I have not noticed a difference at all. I eat four a day; two in the morning and two at night. I also have not noticed a difference in my appetite, either. However, they do taste really good and I look forward to eating them, but won't buy again as they are expensive for no results.

I'm in competition prep,so these are an amazing little treat for me that I look forward to each day. I take one in the morning as well as one of the coconut oil chewables. I've only been taking them for a few days, so I cant speak on how well they work.

These taste great, and are great for just a quick chew when your stomach's rumbling. Not a huge difference in appetite suppression but takes the edge off if you can't get to a full meal. I eat one everyday in the afternoon.

I love this product it's the best lost weight I have tried and actually worked for me I been taking them for 10 months and I have lost 35 lbs I Take them 4 times a day I love the taste and I also take a cla chewables with them and I have so much energy everyone should try them .

I take these at least 4 times a day, morning, pre-workout, lunch, and as a dinner snack. They really curb my appetite!!! I have no more cravings for junk food and rarely am hungry but I still eat along with a healthy diet. A GNC associate recommended me to take CLA soft chew (strawberry banana) with the raspberry chews. So I take these twice a day with the raspberry chews and gives me the natural energy I need!

Usually have one with my total lean shake in the morning and I rarely even feel the need to eat until well past "lunch-time" where I'll have a sensible meal. Gives me the energy punch I usually get from my cream and sugar laden coffee that I'm trying to cut back on, and definetly curbs appetitie. On days I dont take them I will usually be hungry mid-day and need a small snack to get me through to lunch (not much of an issue as long as I pack a healthy snack in my lunchbox). Overall a yummy chew, but I do get the numbness/tingly sensation immediately after eating it, but it usually goes away after drinking some water.
